DESCRIPTION

The five hamlets of the Cinque Terre are located on the west coast of the Riviera and they represent a universe apart on the Italian coastal panorama. The villages of Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore, were built by peasant farmers who transformed the steep cliffs into fertile terraces to grow excellent agricultural products (oil, wine, lemons). The terraces are based on dry stone walls that if aligned would exceed the length of the Great Wall of China. The delicate balance between natural elements and human toil generated a unique landscape, now a UNESCO World Heritage site.

- Pick up 9:30 from the port right at your ship's pier, your touristic escort will meet you there and together you will reach your private bus.
- Travel by coach to the city of La Spezia (about 1.5 h). During the transfer your escorts will collect the payment for the transfer between villages (EUR 26 per adult and EUR 18 for children up to 10 yo, please be prepared with cash)

Weather permitting we will travel by ferry and pass in front of Corniglia, a farming village set higher than the others ( he ferry boat can’t stop here), to reach Vernazza with its old center snaking along the cliff top. In case of bed weather we will reach Vernazza using the fats train connection.
  - After visiting Vernazza we will travel to Monterosso either by ferry or train. Monterosso is the best-equipped village for tourists in the whole Cinque Terre with its typical little port. All the restaurants provide delectable typical dishes of the Ligurian coast like pesto, focaccia bread, and salted anchovies. If interested and time permitting, you may wish to taste the product par excellence of Cinque Terre: the famous “Sciacchetrà” a sweet raisin wine……enjoy!!!
- Your touristic escort will take you back to La Spezia by train for a much quicker return.
- You will then return back to Livorno by coach (about 1.5h drive) apporximately by 6:00 pm.

Itinerary details are indicative and may need to be changed by the driver in case of heavy traffic or any other unforeseen situation.

Mykonos, Greece

We have found that It's easy to get around in Mykonos and the town can be discovered "on your own".

If your ship docks at the Old Port you will be walking distance from downtown. If you dock at Tourlos, most cruise lines provide a shuttle bus which takes you to the parking lot near the old port of Mykonos. There are also public buses and taxi (€10 per taxi) that can take you to town (5 minutes drive).

If you want to visit Delos you can take a ferry from the Old Port in Mykonos. In the morning there is a boat at 09h00, 10h00 and 11h00. The trip costs € 17 per person (roundtrip) and takes about half an hour. For the entrance of the site in Delos you pay € 6 per person. Boats return to Mykonos at 12h15, 13h30 and 15h00.
